Agent will give half ton Of High Grade Dis
solved South Carolina Bone Phosphate for
best bushel OF wheat raised from their goods.
The Society will give red ribbon for the
best and blue ribbon for the second best Of all
the different articles placed for inspection.
We would call especial attention TO those
who have interested themselves in stock that
the above premiums are valuable and well
worth competing for. Even those who are
not awarded the premiums will be, by the
Improvement OF their stock, fully paid for
their trouble in preparing them for exhibit
ton. We would ask all who have anything
whatever TO exhibit TO bring it forward on
days OF the eXhibition-even through II may
seem simple, old and not worth exhibiting 10
them it will be of interest TO some one.
Think not that because you have some article
that you have seen for days or perhaps years
that 1t will be old and OF no interest or bene-
iii to your neighbor or friend-any article
you have will benefit some one and help to
increase the number and variety Of the ex-
hibits
And now as 10 those interested in manufac-
turing. we would solicit exhibits from them,
we are aware that our grounds are off the
railroad, yet We think, and as is well Endorsed
by those who have exhibited heretofore, that
you sell as much II not far more than at any
point near the railroad. 1t Will cost some
thing TO bring your exhibits to the grounds
yet we charge nothing for exhibiting them
therefore the expenses If anything will be
less than at other places.
AS for the ladies, we would ask them to
continue as they have heretofore and If posi-
BILE TO improve. We will do all in our power
10 give them pleasant days. We propose
giving them building TO themselves and
wish them to fill 1t. Premiums similar TO
those OF last year will be awarded to them
and published hereafter.
We will have able speakers on agricultural
and political subjects. as well as distinguish
ed men present, both days Of the exhibition.
We have had assurance from numerous ex-
hibitors that we will have the best exhibition
this year that we have ever had heretofore
This being our fourth exhibition, We can Im-
prove on the others. We will place every
exhibit in as conspicuous place as possible,
and intend TO instruct the judges TO use no
partiality whatever in judging-but judge all
fair and square. The lumber will be on the
grounds this week for building, ETC., and the
service OF bands and flying horses, &c, have
been secured. Our exhibition will cost you
nothing. All we ask is for you If you can to
bring something already to place on inspec-
ton. We intend to hold our exhibition free
in every respect.
Those who wish TO sell on the grounds
should apply 10 George S. Knott.
There will be another meeting Of the Socie-
ty on Saturday evening, August 9th, at
O'Clock. Every one should be present that
can, as we have important business to trans
